Thank you all I can't begin to say how much all of your support and prayers have meant to me and my family. I thank you all so very much. We got the call this morning that it was time to come to the hospital. Dad went with God at 1:30pm this afternoon. Mom, Jim (Big bro) & I were there with him. We each got to spend alone time with him to say our goodbyes in our own way. My brother & I had gone downstairs to try and get something for mom to eat... dad waited for us to get back. I was holding his hand when the time came for him. It was quick and painless. He is no longer in pain. My mom, bro & I decided he was running up to & kicking the pearly gates open and having a wonderful meal of cornedbeef & cabbage, a true Irishman's finest reward... I will miss you terribly Dad... and I love you. Beth... your little pumpkin
Beth & Dana - I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. It was nice you all got to spend those last moments together and say goodbye.
Beth and family, Im saddened by your loss. I hope you will receive comfort and compassion in the difficult times ahead. Patrick
Beth- So sorry for your loss. I know it's been a struggle for you and your family, not to mention your dad. Sent you a PM...
Sounds like he was one heckuva guy! I'm glad he will no longer experience pain, but I am saddened at your loss. Youns will be in my prayers.
God Bless you and Keep you all. ----------------------------------- A Psalm of David The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in pastures of tender grass: he leads me beside the waters of quietness. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, and my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. -------------------------------------
Beth, Dana and family: Our prayers are with you and my thoughts have never left you. Having lost my father this past April, I know the feelings you're going through. May the Good Lord Bless You, and all of your family, in this time of need. If there is something my family can do to ease your burden, just let me know. -Paul
Prayers for Dad Some people think that we car people are just a bunch of people that are just concerned about our cars, but after reading all the wonderful things writtem about Beth's Dad . it seems to me we are a very close family that cares about one and all. Sure a different world of people than what most think of us. Maybe I'm wrong but it's my thoughts and feelings about the car people on this board. Mike
Beth, I have not been following this thread and just read about your father. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Duane
Beth.....so sorry to hear about your dad.....I know it's been difficult for you all. Please remember that though you mourn his loss here on earth, the angels rejoice in their gain for heaven....he'll be with you always.
